sched/completion: Serialize completion_done() with complete()

Commit de30ec47

 "Remove unnecessary ->wait.lock serialization when
reading completion state" was not correct, without lock/unlock the code
like stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu()

	while (!completion_done())
		cpu_relax();

can return before complete() finishes its spin_unlock() which writes to
this memory. And spin_unlock_wait().

While at it, change try_wait_for_completion() to use READ_ONCE().
